Stephanie Hicklin:hi
Christine:hello
Stephanie Hicklin:hey mandy
mandy burdette:hi everyone!
Christine:hi
Stephanie Hicklin:how are y'all?
Christine:is it friday yet?
mandy burdette:hahah i feel the same
Stephanie Hicklin:oh my gosh...i feel you
Christine:suspended a kid and had an intruder on campus today...not a good sign for the week
Stephanie Hicklin:my husband insisted that we ALL go to the grocery store tonight...never ever again!
Stephanie Hicklin:i'm still stressed
mandy burdette:grocery store is easier and quicker when you're alone!
Christine:plus you don't spend as much
Stephanie Hicklin:yes! he is worse than the kids wanting everything he sees
Stephanie Hicklin:definitely!
Stephanie Hicklin:he realized it too after the 10th tantrum, haha
Christine:lol...him or the kids
Stephanie Hicklin:the 2 year old
Christine:ewww terrible twos
Stephanie Hicklin:so...i learned something today about powerpoint that i never knew!
mandy burdette:what?
Stephanie Hicklin:did y'all know that you can ungroup clipart and take away things that you don't like or merge clipart?
mandy burdette:no i had no idea! that is cool
Christine:hmmm had never thought about that..didn't know
Stephanie Hicklin:i know...i think it might really help us too. I'm going to upload two pics that i did it to
mandy burdette:ok
Stephanie Hicklin:actually, just watch this
Melanie:Hi! Sorry I'm late. Just gettin home from hospital. My grandmother had a heart attack but is doing well
mandy burdette:im sorry!! i hope she is ok
Stephanie Hicklin:oh no, i am so sorry
Christine:sorry to hear that
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, sorry...were y'all able to see that?
Christine:i did
Stephanie Hicklin:isn't that neat?
mandy burdette:yea i like that
Melanie:I saw that. That is cool
Christine:it is...what is your os
Christine:wondering if you can do it on all versions
Stephanie Hicklin:windows 7
Christine:cool
Stephanie Hicklin:well, i saw it on a tutorial and it didn't mention anything about os
Stephanie Hicklin:i have wanted to show somebody that all day, lol
mandy burdette:i saw the picture of the school house at the top....is that an updated front cover?
Stephanie Hicklin:i was just playing around
mandy burdette:well it looked really good
Christine:the characters are cute
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, haha. i didn't have much time to play after i learned how to do it
Stephanie Hicklin:thanks, it was really hard finding the same characters with different expressions
Stephanie Hicklin:I saw your comment Mandy about the formatting of the ppt storyboard. do y'all think we could just make each slide a storyboard section?
Stephanie Hicklin:or frame?
Christine:that would work
mandy burdette:that would work....when we out it permanently on the wikispace it says it has to be a word doc or pdf
mandy burdette:put* not out
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, we can just save the ppt presentation as a handout and convert it to a pdf
Stephanie Hicklin:that should flow nicely
Melanie:That workds
Melanie:works
mandy burdette:sure
Christine:easy enough
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, i like ppt better when working with graphics, it just seems to be easier to move stuff around
Stephanie Hicklin:than Word...
Melanie:i agree
mandy burdette:i have a few suggestions for a couple of slides....i tried to make some changes but i was scared to mess it up!!
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, good! I need suggestions :)
Stephanie Hicklin:you won't mess it up, though. I have the original saved, so I can always fix something if it gets changed accidentally
mandy burdette:can we add the school house and the grass to slides 1 and 2...and have ms smiley at the door on slide 2?
Stephanie Hicklin:do you want me to pull it up so we can all see it and take notes on the changes?
Christine:yes please
mandy burdette:sounds grear
Stephanie Hicklin:ok
mandy burdette:great
Stephanie Hicklin:ok it is saving as a pdf, then i will upload
Stephanie Hicklin:nevermind, it supports ppt
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, i'm taking notes in the notes section
mandy burdette:did you see what i said for slides 1 and 2?
Stephanie Hicklin:yes, i'll put that down. can y'all see my notes section?
mandy burdette:no
Christine:nope
Melanie:I don't
Stephanie Hicklin:I don't think we can have the normal "discussion" section and share the screen.
mandy burdette:its ok
Stephanie Hicklin:I can try, but i might lose the presentation
mandy burdette:i also thought for slide 4 and 5 we could add the rug that's in the other slides just to fill in background space
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, that's good
Christine:maybe find a shelf with blocks for 4
Christine:perhaps 5 too
Stephanie Hicklin:or maybe a road map rug?
mandy burdette:yea!
Stephanie Hicklin:-should i try to find a better Stephen?
Christine:he is ok
Stephanie Hicklin:ok
Christine:little dorky but ok..lol
Melanie:Would you like for me to look for a background that has pre school furniture? Like bookcases and calendars you know things like for a play area?
Stephanie Hicklin:sure!
Stephanie Hicklin:maybe we will have more luck if we all look. the problem i run into is finding it for free
mandy burdette:slide 13- since we took out the flash cards can we delete the envelope and maybe have Carlos closer to mom with ms smiley waving goodbye?
Stephanie Hicklin:now that i know how to take away some of the stuff that doesn't fit, it may be easier
Christine:true...i will look too
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, that's good
mandy burdette:i think all the others look great!
Stephanie Hicklin:me too...i am really happy at how far we have come so fast
mandy burdette::)
Stephanie Hicklin:i saw that you put up the ppts on the wiki. thanks!
Christine:teamwork
Stephanie Hicklin:that's right :)
Melanie:I found a group of toys? Where can I put it so you can see?
mandy burdette:I created a bookbuilder account for the team earlier.....
Melanie:That's great!
Stephanie Hicklin:have any of you gotten your grade for the ppt assignment?
Christine:cool
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, thank you!
mandy burdette:the log in is: fouramigos and the pswd: edet722
Christine:not yet as of lunch time
mandy burdette:i havent gotten my grade yet
Stephanie Hicklin:me either
Melanie:she said she was still grading
mandy burdette:i chose one coach to be our "translator"...its the puppy and his name is Pedro!
Stephanie Hicklin:do y'all see any frames that you think should be split into a two page spread?
Christine:perfect
Stephanie Hicklin:perfect
Melanie:Where can I display this image to see if you want to use it?
Stephanie Hicklin:thanks for getting the script translated Christine?
Christine:no problem
Stephanie Hicklin:can you email it real quick and I can upload it?
mandy burdette:i think the slides look good as is....if there are too many words on bookbuilder we can change it then
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, that sounds good
Stephanie Hicklin:It will probably look better when I put one frame per slide
mandy burdette:yea it will look more like the actual book
Stephanie Hicklin:Do y'all want me to make those revisions and send it out to you tonight, for another look, then save it as a pdf and submit?
Christine:please
Stephanie Hicklin:or wait until tomorrow?
Stephanie Hicklin:because, even if we submit it tonight and change our minds on a graphic later, that will be fine, right?
mandy burdette:yea its just a rough draft
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, so is that all we needed to do tonight?
mandy burdette:I added the final report page to the wikispace so we can start writing it...its a lot so i didnt wanna wait til the last minute
Christine:wow not sure how some of the images that showed up in my searched qualify as preschool furniture
mandy burdette:lol
Stephanie Hicklin:haha, yeah, i know what you mean
Stephanie Hicklin:scary
Melanie:I hear ya!
Christine:*changing search terms*
Melanie:Stephanie, I sent one image and I have one other to send
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, i'll go look
Melanie:That's really big isn't it?
Melanie:Could we resize it?
Stephanie Hicklin:yeah, but I'm sure i could shrink it down in ppt
Stephanie Hicklin:do we have permission to use it?
Melanie:i'll check
Stephanie Hicklin:my son just saw it and freaked out over "thomas!"
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, so what else tonight?
Christine:only thing due was the storyboard right?
mandy burdette:lol
Stephanie Hicklin:i think so
Stephanie Hicklin:have y'all looked for examples of visual literacy?
Melanie:I do not see any copyright on either image. Is there a specific place I should look?
Melanie:I have been looking as I go along. Nothing has stood out yet
Stephanie Hicklin:usually it will say. i'm confused about what we can and can't use. the link that she gave us for that was no good
mandy burdette:the links that you guys sent out...if you think we used them to help us write the book....add them to the reference page on the wikispace
Christine:ok
Stephanie Hicklin:at work, we have to be so careful, that's why i worry so much, but that may be a little different than our uses
Stephanie Hicklin:ok
mandy burdette:for educational uses its ok as long as you site the source i believe
Stephanie Hicklin:ok
Stephanie Hicklin:i couldn't believe how expensive the good clip art is on sites like shutterstock and iphoto
mandy burdette:i did the design page over the weekend so we can all start on the develop page on the wikispace, the final report, and creating our book for this week
Christine:sounds like a plan
Stephanie Hicklin:yes sounds good.
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, so y'all look for the updated storyboard from me sometime tonight. i'll wait for feedback, revise again and submit
Stephanie Hicklin:if i haven't heard from everyone by say 5pm tomorrow, I'll just go ahead and submit. is that good?
Christine:ok...sorting through clipart..if I find something I will send it
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, that helps, thanks
Melanie:Sounds good. Stephanie, I have one more image to send. Is there anything else specific that I can do for this week?
mandy burdette:everyone just help with develop pg., final report, and bookbuilder and we should be on track
Stephanie Hicklin:i don't know. what do we need to do with the translations? are we going to include it somewhere in text form too?
mandy burdette:i will email dr. wissick and ask if it's needed for the storyboard and ill let you know
Christine:either way...they are there if we need them
Stephanie Hicklin:ok, that sounds good.
Stephanie Hicklin:so, is that all for tonight?
Christine:i think so
Stephanie Hicklin:Ok, goodnight everyone. Be watching for the storyboard soon.
mandy burdette:can you email the chat & ill post it on the wikispace
Stephanie Hicklin:sure
Melanie:Good night
